Evidences of a Tragedy.
 uEf-..... r-...-..-.-.-...

Some time during the early part Of
 last week Riverside was the scene of one
 of those mysterIoGs tragedies that some
 times occur in new and spsrsely settled
 countries that are the sensation of the
 hour, the clues tO which gre so mesgre
 that detective skill IS bsIfied and after 6 short time are forgotten. On Saturday afternoon last Mir. Watson and his wife were taking 8 walk alone the bank Of the river when they noticed pick han dle lying in the sand, winch Mir Watson picked up, After carrying It a short dis tRnce be noticed that there was blood on 1t, and on examining It. found that one side was thickly encrusted with bIood. what appeared to be brains and human hair. On examining the grounds Iu the vicinity there was found in .he high weeds that line the banks of the river evidences of a struggle, and also where some body had been drsgxai down c. the river and thrown ID. Itn had bern an animal that was killed there would not have been any necessity of this action on the part of the slayer. The p.cS handle was recognized, by reason os defect. as one that had disappeareG from the gold washer camp across the rIver 8 few days previous and just before the rain of last week. The day before the pIes handle was missed Mir. F. Adams crOssSd 70 his camp scross the rIyeE from the stage station. Early the next nOrnIn-. desir- ing to cross the river. he went tO the place where he had left the boat the pre- viOus evening, but found that some one had come along during the night and crossed ID the boat, leaving IL at point some distance below the usual place. On this night man was discovered ln the c rral at the station formerly kept by Mrs. Burch, who, on being spoken Ca. immediately took tO his heels and dis- appeared. These little incidents were noted at the tune of occurrence and oc- cssloned only passing remarks. bus taken ID connection with the finding Of the pick handle smearCd with blood aud hair they point tO the commission Of a bloody tragedy. The pick handle show cd where the person had taken hold m two or three places. the bloody finger marks being plainly visible. ILe hsir was evidently that of man, being about two inches long. and Sas blonde and very fine. No one living iu the vi- cinity of Riverside has been missed. and 1t IS supposed that the pRrties EeEo a couple of men trayeh1g on foot along what IS known as the Mineral Creek trail The river at the time Of thIs oC- currence was very much swollen on sc- count of the late rains. and the body, If thrown in, would probably be carried to the gulf without teing observed All the circumstances pOint tO S foul crime. but 1t Is not probable that it's mystery will ever be fsthOmed or its perpetratoF discovered.

Interesting Cure OF Insanity.

An interesting instance of fighting
insanity by insanity has recently been
noticed among the Blackwel's Island
patients. Two lunatics had been re-
ceived who were disposed to commit
suicide. In addition each possessed
a special delusion, one to tho effect
that he was SOW, the other that his
head was an iron ball, and was to be
rolled along the floor. They carried
these beliefs into action, one striking
his head against the padded walls of
his cell, the other rolling his head,
and of course his body with it, along
the floor. The two patients We're
placed together, and each was private
ly informed of the others weakness
and warned to watch his companion
to prevent him taking his own life.
Thus each had charge in the other.
Their vigilance was unceasing
Each supposed himself perfectly sane
and this belief was accompanied by
considerable scorn for the others
weakness Of intellect and accompany
ing delusions. Gradually under the
influence of this treatment the pa.
tients were observed to improve. To
have their attention centered on defn.
ite duty and on objects external to
themselves proved tonic for their dis
eased minds, and gradually a COM
plete cure was effected, and they re-
ceived their discharges from the asy-
lum,

An Early Harvest.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, June lire
ports received by the Department of
Agriculture show that there is o
slight increase in the area devoted to
corn, and the general condition is
above the average for June. Much
of it has been cultivated the second
time.
The area devoted to sorghum is
about half as large as last season, and
it's condition is a full average for
June l. Winter wheat promises an
average yield per acre. Harvest will
commence much earlier than usual
Spring wheat, oats, rye, barley and
fax are in fair condition. Tobacco
has made good growth during the
last month, and has an area equal to
that of last season.
Meadows and pastures have suffer
ed greatly from the drouth, but have
improved since the recent rains. The
area devoted to Irish potatoes is
much larger than that of last season,
and the. condition is above the aver.
age for June l. The fruit prospect is
about the same as last year at this
date.

Reunion Of the l34th.
A. BARICKMAN.

The reunion of the l34th Regi-
ment, p. Y. held at Rock Point,
on Thursday, June 9th was very en-
jovable to the members present The
attendance was not as large as might
have been expected on account OF
some mistake or oversight in not
getting the bills out. but arrange
ments were made so that all will be
notified in due time next year Col.
NJ. S. Quay under whose command
the regiment was mustered was
present. The grafton was delivered
by Rev. S. Forgeus, a member of Co.
G. At their business meeting a com
mittee of ten, one from each compa-
ny, was appointed to correspond with
members Of their several companies,
and to see that they all would be no.
tilted concerning the time and place
of their next reunion, which the
committee will designate at a later
date. This regiment was raised in
Butler, Lawrence and Beaver coun-
ties,-four companies being from the
first two, and two companies from the
last named county-during the sum-
mer of 1862, and were sent to the
front immediately, and during the
second battle of Bull Run were under
command of Gen. Fritz John Por-
ter
They marched with the army to
South Mountain and Antietam, ar
irving at Antietam early on the
morning after the second days fight.
Their first introduction to the John
nies was reconnaissance across the
Potomac after that battle, in which
they secured the praise of their COM
manding officers. They made tha
fna al and forlorn hope charge at Fred
cricksburg,in which they lost heavily.
Many Butler county homes were
made desolate at this terrible slaugh-
ter
They were in Burnside's mud
march and took part in the battle of
charlottesville, part of the regiment
being in that battle after their time
had expired. The regiment was al
most wholly composed of young men,
the average being, it is said, about
twenty-five years, they were muster
ed out on the 26th Of May. 1863.
Nearly all re.enlisted in different reg
iments and served until the war was
over All the old l34th boys should
make it point to attend their next
reunion. A.

We don't advertise any great slaughtering sales.
Neither do buy sell to customers cheap trash in
auction goods, don't name three or four different
prices the Boot Shoe don't say we will
give 81 .25 for $l.00; price isn't remedy for poor
quality Of Boots and Shoes, a low price is gener-
ally high one in the end A house that hasn't the
price to each and every customer could afford to
offer $500 for $100 but the customer would in of
the get for his co. for instance he buys
pair of shoes at $500, his neighbor buys the
shoe at $780, do you his dollar brought him just
IS CENTS and it goes hunbuggery from first last.
Why out and say they do business for profit.
We admit we sell Boots and Shoes to make
profit. Oh beware of those houses that advertise
though they doing business for their health some
other good All you have do is after the
goods, &c. This won't catch trade hold it, people
to smart for that in this county.
We are satisfied with small profit on every sale
and have the best Of evidence that the people of
Butler county appreciate way of doing business from
our large and increasing trade. Every day have
new customers say to u.s. want shoe you
recommend and at the lowest price, tired of buying shod
dy goods at set price We have been recommended to
you to get good article.
Cheap Boots and Shoes consists in honest X
change for your money giving 100 worth of real
value in for every Sic in cash. Always giving
customers the very best Boots and Shoes the market pro-
duces hence large and increasing trade the intel
ligent public fully realize these facts
We haven't said anything about prices. You
can't be governed by prices unless you have the goods
to compare, but will say have no high prices. La
dies shoes from 65 cents and up Mems fine shoes from
$l,O0 and up, Boys, Youths, Misses and Childrens
